Story time! At my previous place they had an ancient java application that powered their entire business. It had some reasonable parts, but some of it was a total mess from top to bottom. Leaky abstractions, multiple layers of incomprehensi

To some degree you are right, but the sign of good quality code with low technical debt is the ability to change requirements quickly, not necessarily consider future requirements. In my opinion, investing early on in CI/CD pays so muc

Arguing that guys shouldn't use grindr because it puts them in danger and then saying they should chat people up in real life seems bizarre to me. Even in my fairly liberal western country assuming a random guy in a normal bar is gay c

With respect, that is easy to say when ~50% of the population is a potential partner and is easily determinable. When you are gay and the majority of guys are straight, finding partners organically is near impossible (unless you're in

I am a subscriber and I will admit I hate so many things about the app, I genuinely don't know how a company the size of MS can make the UX mistakes it does. Anecdotally though, I haven't seen the issue you mentioned with the down

Well, without the hard numbers on subscribers it's going to be hard to quantify one way or another if microsoft are 'struggling on pc' or not. Needless to say though, their catalogue of games on offer for a small monthly fee

I wholeheartedly agree with you, but unfortunately onlyfans is certainly not unique when it comes to whales. Mobile gaming is the classic example, and that is arguably worse in that it often targets children. It is really a symptom of a wid

Developers and code reviewers make mistakes. If a change involves looking at code numerous trivial comments, the probability that both the developer and the reviewers misses at least one increases. This is particularly problematic for this

The problem with this approach comes down to when the functionality of the code changes. Consider the scenario that a second developer has to change your code in the future, for example the decision is made that a vertical scrollbar isn&#x2

I presume this is in the US? In the UK for example the HPV vaccine for gay men is free on the NHS. I'm sure the same is true for many other countries too.

I'll be honest I've not seen the first two series so I'll avoid speculating. I'm sure you are absolutely right. In the case of Game of Thrones, a lot of the more 'liberal' sexual encounters were really put in f

Gay man here, on prep in a long term open relationship. To date I have yet to come across anything in mainstream media that comes close to 'glorifying' the type of relationship I have with my partner, or non-monogamy in general. C

Indeed, there have been 3sigma deviations before (e.g. the diphoton resonance) which attracted a lot of attention and turned out to be nothing. I'd encourage people to read up on the Look-elsewhere Effect when you see something like th
